Review of Slingshot

Slingshot (2005)
3/10
This movie deserves to be shot with a sling

Warning: Spoilers
The dramatic end (Ashley confesses that he loves Taylor) is nice and reduce the nonsense feeling a little bit as it justifies at least part of the craziness. Though, the beginning is bad and most of the movie is HORRIBLE. Indeed, what starts badly worsens a lot, specially when the plot changes its path with the introduction of Ash's lover's daughter. Many events in the story are not credible, almost as impossible as the dialogs. It is hard to decide what is worse: the dialogs or the soundtrack. The affair of Ash and Karen could be better developed, but how the hell her daughter April dated him in that situation? The two main characters, the immature, sexist, violent rascals, childhood friends, who steal seduced older women, are somewhat well developed, but the same may not be said about other characters. Karen's friend started and finished her affair with Taylor in a blink. Fast Bobby is an even emptier character. To resume: this is a very bad film in spite of some actors who acted well.
